Paul, Re: <3GIO Headlines> An amazing tempest given the container, isn't it? ("HyperTransport is...a good five-year solution" for connecting chips within a computer, Grilley said. "We just think there needs to be a 10-year solution. What we want to do with the 3GIO is to go one step farther." Both HyperTransport and 3GIO use a relatively small number of high-speed wires to carry data. 3GIO is explicitly designed as a way to connect external devices to a computer, whereas AMD currently is billing HyperTransport as a way to connect internal components. ... news.cnet.com ) It's clear that as time progresses the trend is to increasing signal muxing on transmission media. First occurrence was on air with radio. Then came telephony with N-carrier on wire. And light on fiber. As the data rate increases the transmission media/unit data cost becomes prohibitive. INTC gives HyperTransport 5 years and says 3GIO is good for 10. I doubt it. Data transmission rates are rising in a parabolic curve. IMO, You ain't seen nothing yet. tgptndr
